Soil and Landscape Grid Digital Soil Attribute Maps for Queensland series

Brief description

These datasets describe soil attributes suitable for inclusion in the TERN Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia (http://www.clw.csiro.au/aclep/soilandlandscapegrid). Eleven attributes are available in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc-seconds (approximately 90m). These products are generated using spatial modelling and digital soil mapping techniques. At present, these products cover the extent of the Burdekin River catchment only.

Soil and Landscape Grid Digital Soil Attribute Maps for Queensland series metadata record - Full ISO 19115 metadata record
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - fine sand - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing percentage fine sand content of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. Percentage fine sand is mapped in five depth slices to a maximum depth of one metre. Upper and lower uncertainty limits accompany each depth slice.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - clay - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing percentage clay content of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. Percentage clay is mapped in five depth slices to a maximum depth of one metre. Upper and lower uncertainty limits accompany each depth slice.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - silt - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing percentage silt content of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. Percentage silt is mapped in five depth slices to a maximum depth of one metre. Upper and lower uncertainty limits accompany each depth slice.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - wilting point - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing the gravimetric water content at approximate permanent wilting point (soil water potential -1500kPa) of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. This attribute is mapped in five depth slices to a maximum depth of one metre. Upper and lower uncertainty limits accompany each depth slice.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - Ca-Mg ratio - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing the calcium to magnesium ratio of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. This attribute is mapped in five depth slices to a maximum depth of one metre. Upper and lower uncertainty limits accompany each depth slice.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - coarse sand - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing percentage coarse sand content of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. Percentage coarse sand is mapped in five depth slices to a maximum depth of one metre. Upper and lower uncertainty limits accompany each depth slice.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - exchangeable sodium - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing the Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (15N1 - Rayment and Lyons, 2011) of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. This attribute is mapped in five depth slices to a maximum depth of one metre. Upper and lower uncertainty limits accompany each depth slice.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - depth to rock - This dataset contains a raster surface describing the depth to rock horizon or strongly cemented pan (NCST 2009). The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. Upper and lower uncertainty limits accompany the data. This dataset can be used as a depth mask with other soil attribute maps.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - electrical conductivity - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing the electrical conductivity in 1:5 water-soil solution (3A1 - Rayment and Lyons, 2011) of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. This attribute is mapped in five depth slices to a maximum depth of one metre. Upper and lower uncertainty limits accompany each depth slice.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - surface soil depth - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing the depth of A horizon (surface soil, NCST 2009) of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. This attribute is accompanied by upper and lower uncertainty limits. The dataset can be used as a depth mask with other soil property maps.
Queensland digital soil attributes - Burdekin River basin - effective CEC - This dataset contains raster surfaces describing the effective cation exchange capacity of soils in the Burdekin River basin. The study area covers approximately 13.4 million hectares in Central and North Queensland. This attribute is mapped in five depth slices to a maximum depth of one metre.
